Artist unknown...
is often the credit given on the art i most enjoy.
After visiting the Hirshhorn in Washington, Site Santa Fe in New Mexico and any number of smaller venues for the display of art, i realized that i'm generally most affected by the work of anonymous artists. Whether ancient or contempory, i find the power of the object out of context of a body of work and ego to be more eccentric and powerful. Is this my anti-social stance on most things acceptable to the art and political world, or is this the real power of the things that live outside of that dialogue? Perhaps it has something to do with my youthful LSD experiments and admiration for the 1950's iconic "Born to Lose" tattoos.
